Course description

Content currently being updated 2018 to include coverage of modern MCU versions:

Freescale MPC devices
Various ST MCU
Infineon Tricore
Renesas V850

Introduction

This course has been designed to further educate automotive locksmiths or technicians in EEPROM related solutions, providing the knowledge and practical skills to execute more advanced key making methods using soldering irons and MCU device programmers.

Designed for users already familiar with basic 8 lead (leg) EEPROM in-circuit reading and writing, participants will develop a detailed understanding of memory functionality, discover and practice various methods of reading and processing BIN files, and undertake both theory and practical training on surface mount soldering and de-soldering.

The course content contains approximately 40% theory, 60% practical elements, covering two major categories:

Soldering & De-soldering
MCU / Flash devices and programming

The two topics are alternated throughout the training days to eventuate into several complete practical exercises, working on and testing the results of real vehicle immobiliser ECUs.

The training is delivered and tutored by two highly experienced and professional trainers: Blair Willson and Richard Hoares.

Prerequisites

To apply, applicants require prior experience regarding:

Identifying and understanding 8 lead IC EEPROM packages
Determining EEPROM manufacturer and package version
Reading and writing 8 lead EEPROM memory in-circuit using a universal programmer

Learning outcomes

Upon completion of the course, participants will gain the ability to pursue advanced immobiliser and ECU work which may require programmer wires to be soldered onto an electronic board, electronic components to be removed and read with an adaptor using speciality programmers.

Yours to keep

Included in the course fee is a Soldering kit to be used during some of the practical elements of the program. This kit has an approximate recommended retail value of $717.95. The equipment is included in the course fee, however applications for a discount can be requested if the applicant does not require the soldering station.

Additional notes and inclusions

Morning tea, Lunch, and Afternoon tea are to be supplied by LSC. If there are special dietary requirements, please notify LSC.

The program also includes the provision of laptops with pre-installed software to avoid any disruptions or unnecessary user PC technical support

Timetable and exercises

The theory and practical elements of the training are staggered to between soldering/de-soldering and MCU/Flash programming topics. Each participant are supplied their own Scorpio Orange5 and other programmers to use throughout the two days, soldering and programming real vehicle ECUs form a variety of models. Several completed exercises will be tested on a customised bench rig to ensure the procedures are completed successfully. Examples include a Mitsubishi Magna ID46, target ECU is the BCM (includes HC11 secured), and GM Opel Immo2, target key reader immobiliser ECU (includes TMS370).
